By all means, let’s do deep reporting on the country’s most famous pedophile and hold that information for a book release date months away rather than publish it in real time www.breakermedia.com/p/lead-us-no...

Can't resist a mashup

Watch how Colbert handles (literally handles) the official CBS rationale for withholding the Talarico interview

This is just so incredibly fucked up and could have horrible consequences including veterans deciding not to take their medication so their much needed monthly disability compensation isn’t reduced. Shame on Doug Collins and the VA leadership

Should be the story all day, every day, every which way. Pretty much every goddamn person alive named in those files is a lead to be followed. Every time a GOP member of Congress steps outside they should be asked about the credible allegation against the president who said he’s been “exonerated.”

His Wikipedia page makes for interesting reading. And there are some weird gaps in there too. Maybe not in a day or so. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Wex...

Yeah, there it is. Most watched Late Show video of the year — in its first 24 hours online. (It appears to have been posted at midnight because that's when it rolled over to 1 day.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiTJ... It is easily going to be over 4 million views still tonight.

The left tried for decades to pass green energy subsidies, passed them, the subsidies worked, and now literally the entire planet's electricity grid is going to convert to solar+battery. It just doesn't feel like "tech" because it mostly produces kinda boring blue collar jobs instead of billionaires

“Roberts will go down in history as the most destructive chief justice.”

Trump: It’s a hoax. We should move on. Trump’s DOJ: There’s nothing to investigate. The UN: The revelations suggest a global criminal enterprise…a number of the abuses meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity. www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/202...

"A Bloomberg analysis found that people living near a data center saw their monthly electricity bills spike by as much as 267% in just five years."

Louisiana has refused to reconsider the convictions of 1,000+ mostly Black men sentenced by split juries, despite the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 2020 that such convictions are unconstitutional and based on an inherently racist law. By @richardawebster.bsky.social

A federal judge is set to hear testimony Tuesday from U.S. citizens and immigrants in Minnesota who say federal agents stopped and arrested them without warrants or probable cause. Some are asylum seekers or are lawful permanent residents.

Rep. Thomas Massie vows to continue the Epstein files fight: "When the attorney general is reduced to a stack of pre-prepared insults to deliver, and when the DOJ is responding to my every tweet with additional unredactions, I don't think I'm going to change what I'm doing just yet."

the logic of his position is that you would them abandon those issues and so on and so on until you’ve fully sacrificed a group of vulnerable americans to reactionary bullies for the sake of a percentage point (if that)

So....the Fourth Reich?

Tesla Robotaxis Reportedly Crashing at a Rate That's 4x Higher Than Humans

AI is revolutionizing the world! A Playstation now costs $5,000 and this is the last phone you will ever own.

Today, I'm proud to announce that we've erased over $1.1 billion in medical debt for more than half a million Illinoisans. No one should be forced to choose between life-saving care and feeding their families. Stay tuned for more news on affordability in Illinois tomorrow.

NEW — An obscure Navy contractor program is making Trump’s plans to quickly build out and supply immigrant concentration camps around the country a reality. Here I explain WEXMAC TITUS, an acronym you need to understand:

Ya think?

Anti-Fascists: if you have big prisons where children & adults are held not for committing crimes, but who they are, those are concentration camps. And if those people keep dying, they are death camps. Trump Regime: if we drop sick people off in desert to die then not death camps, right? Checkmate.

I have now read at least 100 habeas cases involving non Mexicans who are detained and threatened with removal to Mexico. The shenanigans going on.

Mr. Sim lived in the US for 43 years. He was ordered deported 20 years ago after a larceny conviction. Because Cambodia wasn’t accepting deportations, he was allowed to stay on an order of supervision. After 20 years, he was suddenly arrested at an ICE check-in and sent to detention, where he died.

Irving Kristol, @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social's dad, famously said a Neocon is a liberal mugged by reality. A #ResistLib in this case is a neocon mugged by Donald Trump.

As a fourth-generation preacher, Pastor Jennings knows that this is a moment that calls for leaders with the courage to get things done for our communities. Welcome to the team, Pastor!

Mind blowing few paragraphs

JD Vance has negative rizz. Anti-aura. Unlimited lame.

We are laser-focused on tracking them down, holding ICE accountable for this monstrous action, demanding specific details on their whereabouts and wellbeing, and ensuring their safety.

To unnecessarily deport a sick baby and his entire family is heinous. My staff and I are in contact with Juan’s family.

The President and his family have made roughly $4 billion by leveraging his position—often while engaging in stark conflicts of interest. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/VZ6CgB

DHS is holding a 2-month-old BABY at a detention facility in Texas. Last night, Juan Nicolás was rushed to the hospital after choking on his own vomit & being unable to breathe. This demands accountability — not a blank check for more cruelty.

Ok folks. The Minnesota Timberwolves are part owned by a firm in the concentration camp business.

Today we lost a giant. Rev. Jesse Jackson proved that a national political movement could be built from bold progressive ideals and an unshakable vision of radical love and justice. May he rest in power.

Randy Fine’s comment is blatantly racist, dehumanizing, and dangerous. Speaker Johnson must condemn this bigotry immediately. We will not normalize Islamophobia in Congress.

The horror stories rolling in from Minnesota are just the tip of the iceberg. This 20-year-old, who's lawfully present in the country, was arrested for being Latino, then jailed in a filthy cell where he couldn't even sit down. 18 days of illegal detention. democracyforward.org/wp-content/u...

i think a campaign geared toward what people online were arguing about in 2022 is probably not going to work out

People who immigrate to the U.S. come here to find safety and opportunity and contribute to our communities. We should be welcomed with dignity, not demonized.

This is an insane story start to finish. $65k a year "AI school" heavily surveils students, generates nonsensical questions that "does more harm than good," scrapes from competitors. Stores hours of video of children insecurely. Lots more: www.404media.co/students-are...
